However, I have most of my library loaded onto an sd card on an older device. This serves two purposes: it's a form of backup and it allows quick access to any book not on my current devices. But, collections!
I can't imagine why someone wouldn't want/need collections as their library grew, for the issues of both navigation and discovery.  That's a reason there's no one-size-fits-all reader.

This is why my cookbooks are in a spreadsheet and semi organized on shelves. The miscellaneous ones need to be organized better.
